December/January 2000/2001 (Mid-levels, Hong Kong)

Tucked away just behind New York Fitness, in the heart of Soho, you’ll find the
Empire Bar – a small and very cozy local watering hole. In December 2000,

House of Siren was invited to come up with the complete design concept for the bar, and worked closely with the contractors and the directors to ensure that the desired look was achieved. House of Siren was directly responsible for fabric and furniture sourcing, overseeing the custom making of furniture, and helping to design the bar logo.

The bar takes it influence from turn of the century empires. Each of the four main seating banquettes represent a particular country at the turn of the 20th Century – India, Russia, China and England are all represented in the decoration.
